Description

Additional Information

The Instigator is a take-no-prisoners performance board.

Featuring a deep single concave nose to tail and slightly curvier rocker complimented by a heavily influenced performance shortboard outline this Surf SUP board is designed for those who are about to rock.

With its curvy rocker, squash tail, and hard tail edges the concave acts to straighten the curve along the stringer creating a board that is blisteringly fast but has a short turning arc that wants to go vertical and fit into hollower waves.
